Your "truth." Not any absolute truth. I've heard a lot of truths.
Well, yes, you call yourself a Christian
When did I ever do that?
That’s the one thing they have right. There can be no compromise between good and evil.
Then remember that to a billion -plus people, you're on the "evil" side. But the two religions should be a lot alike, since Islam is largely cribbed from the Bible.
Caving in to evil always has bad consequences. In 1955 neither Beelzebubba nor the Hildebeeste could have been candidates for anything, because their immorality would have disqualified them.
You mean Bill's sexual indiscretions vs. Kennedy's? The Hildebeast's lust for federal power over FDR's? Buchanan driving his fiancee to suicide? Even my own favorite Jefferson wasn't exactly a saint.
No, you don’t get it. There is no such thing as “a” sense of morals. One either has a properly formed conscience or not. One either understands morality, or one does not. There is only one true and correct morality, and that is the one that comes from God.
Most conservative Christians in this country think capital punishment is moral. A well-respected Christian (even by me), the Pope, says that capital punishment today is immoral in pretty much every case we do it. Who's right? Who's following the one God-given morality? The Pope's opinion is mirrored by one large group in this country -- the left. The same left you'd say is immoral.
We are supposed to be a representative republic. We elect representatives to pass laws to do the things we want done.
You've forgotten the 10th Amendment? You think the people directly have no powers? Wrong. The government only has those specific powers delegated to it by the people. Anything not specifically defined as a power of the government is a power of the people. At least that's the design before it got corrupted by people wanting to do "moral" things.
Laws are supposed to have an effect on what people do, not what they think.
You want to erase "evil." All consensual crime laws do is mask it, or drive it underground to make it even more dangerous.
That’s the whole point. Teaching people morality is the job of the parents, the Church, the schools, and organizations such as the Boy Scouts.
I don't agree with you on the school part, but otherwise we agree here at least. And if you raise a moral people, this will be a moral country. Laws do not make a moral country.
I think you left some kind of HTML tag in your last note that is stripping all formatting out of any reply I try to make.
Have to go to one of my jobs now.
